Redirect to original
Description I finished remaking it. The original [link] was made before I had actually seen what it looks like. It's pretty much a slab of wood.

Improvements:
-hollow center / accurate sword
-longer tsuba (guard) and tsuka(handle)
-kashira (pommel)
-better tsukamaki / handle wrapping
(thanks to *chioky tutorial [link] )

materials: wood, foam board, plaster, cardboard, bias tape and paint.

Sword in Action


Halibel cosplay can be found in my Bleach cosplay gallery

Photo with the new sword coming soon.

the-mirror-melts In reply to Realm-Of-The-Shadows [2008-12-20 19:00:37 +0000 UTC]

well that may be true because they'll have to throw in some fillers since they are catching up real quick.

Realm-Of-The-Shadows In reply to the-mirror-melts [2008-12-20 19:01:19 +0000 UTC]

well lets hope the fillers next time are useful unlike the new captain arc.

the-mirror-melts In reply to Realm-Of-The-Shadows [2008-12-20 19:03:56 +0000 UTC]

well that's the problem. they can't be useful since the author is busy working on the original soryline. They just want something on he side that can begin and end without disturbing the original story. Too bad the mod souls are still running around. urahara should send them on assignment in russia or someplace far away
